How Spanish is ‘Spanish Leather’? |
| |
| Abstract: | AbstractUp till now, knowledge of the history of gilt leather is still inadequate. It is little known that there was a huge production outside Spain in different centres in various European countries. This was particularly the case during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, the period when the Spanish industry declined severely. This is also the period from which large quantities of gilt leather survive. This paper is intended to give an insight into the role of Spain in this international situation. |
